Here, an all-carbon fiber-based structural battery is demonstrated utilizing the pristine carbon fiber as negative electrode, lithium iron phosphate (LFP)-coated carbon fiber as positive electrode, and a thin cellulose separator. All components are embedded in structural battery electrolyte and cured to provide rigidity to the battery.
These materials can simultaneously serve as both the structural component and the energy storage medium [9, 10, 11]. As a result, conventional heavy batteries can be either replaced by or integrated into carbon fiber-based batteries, allowing them to fulfill both structural and energy storage roles.
In this context, carbon fibers emerge as a compelling choice of material and serve dual purpose by storing energy and providing stiffness and strength to the battery. Previous investigation has demonstrated proof-of-concept of functional positive electrodes against metallic lithium in structural battery electrolyte.
